Roberto clementes acrobatic catches and laser throwing . Willie Stargell a tape measure stretching homers. Rope after rope off Al Oliver a Bat. A that was an Outfield a May said. A offensively and defensively i done to know if you could come up with a better Outfield. Of Mantle and Maris and whoever played with them were Good Clemente who had 3,000 hits and Stargell who hit 475 homers Are in the Hall of Fame. Oliver finished his career with 2,743 hits. All three could Field run throw and hit. Clementes untimely death in a dec. 31, 1972, plane crash prevented this dream team Outfield from playing together another five years but it did no to erase the memories of three straight division championships from 197072, a world series title in 1971 and a memorable pirates reds playoff in 1972. Now nearly two decades later the pirates have another Brilliant Outfield that could Lead them to their first National league East title in 11 years. May the pirates hitting coach sometimes finds himself remembering Clemente Stargell and Oliver As he watches left fielder Barry Bonds Center fielder Andy Van Slyke and right fielder Bobby Bonilla. A a that a the great thing about baseball that you can sit around All Day and say this Outfield was better than that one a or a this hitter was the greatest of All time a a May said. A you could argue All Day but that Outfield was an awfully Good this year Bonds has blossomed into one of baseball a Premier Power hitters and All around players. He has transformed the pirates Outfield into arguably the Nln a Best a and perhaps one to rival the Oakland athletics $40 million Outfield of Jose Canseco Rickey Henderson Dave Henderson and Willie Mcgee.

Bonds and Bonilla Are the first pirates in the clubs 104-year history to hit 30 homers and drive in 100 runs in the same season. There a defense. Van Slyke has won two straight Gold gloves. Scouts say Bonds is the Nln a Premier defensive left fielder thanks to his Speed Range and jumping ability. Bonilla was error prone at third base but few Challenge his Strong in right Field. This is their first september stretch drive together but Bonilla Bonds and Van Slyke Are handling the Pennant race a like 12 to 14-year veterans a May said. A a they re coming to the Park ready to play every Day a May said. A if one of them is a Little extra hot it can make up if one of them Isnit hitting but when All three Are rolling you re going to get the pirates Lead second place new York by three games with eight to play. Their magic number is six. May said the biggest difference Between the 1972 pirates and 1990 pirates is experience. The �?T90 pirates arc Young and hungry with Van Slyke the Only regular with postseason experience. A in 1972, Clemente was in the late half of his great career Willie Stargell was in his prime it was a team of Young veterans a May said. A we done to have a Mazeroski or a Gene Alley on this team but we do have Guys who Are handling their first Pennant race Well. They re playing hard and not letting the outside thing sgt to Pittsburgh manager Jim Leyland thinks his dream Outfield will get Only better unless injuries or free Agency break it up. A people say a Barry Bonds is finally playing up to his potential hey he was a pretty Good player before this season. And he can get better. He sometimes goes off the deep end and wastes an at Bat and if he did no to do that he could hit 40 homers a Leyland said. Now you re talking 40-40, or Canseco territory. A i done to know if i can do that but i do know that i can Tell my kids someday that for six months i was up there with the Best of them a Bonds said. And maybe for a lot longer than six months. A before they re done this Outfield wont be second to very Many a May said
